2026-10-06mm: make per-VMA locks available universallyDave Hansen
Patch series "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups", v7. tl;dr: Make per-VMA locks available in all configs. Simplify some of the per-VMA lock users now that they can rely on them being always available. Binder and networking folks: Your code is the target of the cleanups. I'm cc'ing you now on v2 because there's emerging consensus on the mm side that the approach here is sane. I'm not quite sure how this pile would get merged, but ack/review tags would be appreciated if this looks good to you. Longer version: When working on some x86 shadow stack code, it was a real pain to avoid causing recursive locking problems with mmap_lock. One way to avoid those was to avoid mmap_lock and use per-VMA locks instead. They are great, but they are not available in all configs which makes them unusable in generic code, or if you want to completely avoid mmap_lock. Make per-VMA locks available in all configs. Right now, they are only available on select architectures when SMP and MMU are enabled. But all of the primitives that per-VMA locks are built on (RCU, maple trees, refcounts) work just fine without SMP or MMU. The only real downside is that making VMAs a wee bit bigger on !MMU and !SMP builds. The upside is much cleaner code, lower complexity and less #ifdeffery. Clean up a binder VMA locking site now that it can rely on per-VMA locks. Building on top of universally-available per-VMA locks, introduce a new helper. Since the new API does not require callers to have a fallback to mmap_lock, it's much easier to use. Callers can potentially replace this very common kernel idiom: mmap_read_lock(mm); vma = vma_lookup() // fiddle with vma mmap_read_unlock(mm); with: vma = vma_start_read_unlocked(mm, address); // fiddle with vma vma_end_read(vma); Which avoids mmap_lock entirely in the fast path. Use that new API for another binder site and one in the TCP code. This patch (of 7): The per-VMA locks have been around for several years. They've had some bugs worked out of them and have seen quite wide use. However, they are still only available when architectures explicitly enable them. Remove the conditional compilation around the per-VMA locks, making them available on all architectures and configs. The approach up to now seemed to be to add ARCH_SUPPORTS_PER_VMA_LOCK when the architecture started using per-VMA locks in the fault handler. But, contrary to the naming, the Kconfig option does not really indicate whether the architecture supports per-VMA locks or not. It is more of a marker for whether the architecture is likely to benefit from per-VMA locks. To me, the most important thing side-effect of universal availability is letting per-VMA locks be used in SMP=n configs. This lets us use per-VMA locking in all x86 code without fallbacks. Overall, this just generally makes the kernel simpler. Just look at the diffstat. It also opens the door to users that want to use the per-VMA locks in common code. Doing *that* brings additional simplifications. The downside of this is adding some fields to vm_area_struct and mm_struct. There are likely ways to optimize this, especially for things like SMP=n configs. For now, do the simplest thing: use the same implementation everywhere. == Considerations for NOMMU config == NOMMU systems do not write-lock VMAs, therefore read-locking a VMA would always succeed unless VMA is detached. Therefore for NOMMU config we make vma_mark_attached() a NOOP, which keeps VMAs always in detached state. This causes VMA read-locking to always fail and the caller falls back to locking mmap_lock. The following functions will have a different implementation in NOMMU config: - vma_mark_attached(), vma_mark_detached() are made NOOPs, keeping VMAs always in a detached state and preventing assertions and refcount underflows; - vma_start_write(), vma_start_write_killable() are made NOOPs to avoid warnings in __vma_start_write() due to VMAs being detached. These functions are not used in NOMMU code but __vma_start_write() is an exported function, therefore might be used by drivers. - vma_assert_attached() is made NOOP because it's reachable from NOMMU code via split_vma()->vma_iter_store_new()->vma_iter_store_overwrite(); - vma_assert_write_locked() is asserting vma->vm_mm is write-locked, as was done before this change; - vma_assert_locked() is asserting vma->vm_mm is locked, as was done before this change; The following functions work for both MMU and NOMMU configs: - vma_lock_init() performs the same initialization as for MMU config; - mm_lock_seqcount_init(), mm_lock_seqcount_begin(), mm_lock_seqcount_end() are called from mmap_write_{lock|unlock} and update mm_lock_seq correctly. - mmap_lock_speculate_try_begin(), mmap_lock_speculate_retry() work as is because mm_lock_seq is updated correctly; - vma_start_read(), vma_start_read_locked() will always fail because VMAs are always detached; - vma_end_read() will never be called because vma_start_read() never succeeds; - vma_is_attached() always return false because VMAs are always detached; - vma_assert_detached() will never trigger because VMAs are never attached; - vma_start_read_locked() always return false because VMAs are always detached; - lock_vma_under_rcu() will be safe as the attempted read lock will bail; Changes in the following files are not affecting NOMMU config: task_mmu.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n; pagewalk.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n; userfaultfd.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n (CONFIG_USERFAULTFD depends on CONFIG_MMU); The following changes in the BPF code are made to keep NOMMU config working like before: stack_map_lock_vma() - keeps mmap_lock in NOMMU config; bpf_iter_task_vma_new() - bails out in NOMMU config; Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260831203056.838265-1-surenb@google.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260831203056.838265-2-surenb@google.com Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM) <ljs@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka (SUSE) <vbabka@kernel.org> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Cc: Liam R.

2026-10-06memcg: remove v1 soft limit reclaimShakeel Butt
Patch series "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit", v2. The v1 soft limit was deprecated in v6.12 by commit 569c4f62d84a ("memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 soft limit") and nobody has reported depending on it in the ~21 months since. memory.low and memory.min in v2 have covered the same ground for far longer. The knob has since been made inert by "memcg: make the v1 soft limit knob inert", already queued in mm-hotfixes as a backportable fix for a syzbot report [1]. Nothing can enter the soft limit rbtree anymore, so this series just deletes the machinery that is now dead: the reclaim pass in kswapd and direct reclaim, mem_cgroup_shrink_node() and its tracepoints, the per-node rbtree, lru_gen_soft_reclaim() and the MEMCG_LRU_HEAD op, the per-node tree fields, mem_cgroup->soft_limit, and finally the v1 event ratelimiting which is now down to a single target. memory.soft_limit_in_bytes itself is untouched: writes stay ignored and reads keep returning the maximum value. This patch (of 8): Nothing can put a cgroup on the soft limit rbtree anymore, so the tree is always empty and both callers of memcg1_soft_limit_reclaim() are guaranteed no-ops. Remove the reclaim pass from direct reclaim and from kswapd, along with its implementation. In shrink_zones() this leaves the global reclaim branch with a last_pgdat check that is now redundant with the identical check right below it, so drop it and move the explaining comment down to the check that remains. That check could only ever fire once last_pgdat was set, which implies first_pgdat had already been assigned, so skipping it does not change which node consider_reclaim_throttle() gets.

2026-10-06mm: shmem: make unused huge shrinker memcg awareQi Zheng
The shmem unused huge shrinker keeps a per-superblock list of inodes whose tail huge folio extends beyond i_size. Since that list is not memcg aware, reclaim triggered by one memcg can scan inodes from the whole superblock and split shmem huge folios charged to unrelated memcgs. Convert the shrink list to a memcg-aware list_lru. Queue each inode on the list_lru sublist matching the memcg and node of the current tail huge folio, so non-root memcg reclaim only walks candidates charged to the reclaiming memcg. Global reclaim, root memcg reclaim and shmem quota reclaim keep global semantics. Rather than pinning a struct mem_cgroup reference in shmem_inode_info, store a struct obj_cgroup reference instead. The list_lru add and delete paths resolve the current memcg from the objcg under RCU, so that memcg offline and list_lru entry migration remain consistent: list_lru migrates entries to the parent memcg sublist on offline, and obj_cgroup_memcg() follows the same reparenting, ensuring the correct sublist is always found at delete time. This avoids pinning a dying memcg through a long-lived CSS reference. The list_lru still tracks inodes while the actual split target is the current tail huge folio, so validate the folio memcg/node during scan. If the folio no longer matches the reclaim context or splitting cannot proceed, requeue the inode according to the current tail folio; if the inode is no longer shrinkable, drop the scan entry. This can be tested with the shrinker debugfs interface by allocating 32 tmpfs tail THPs in each of two memcgs, then scanning the sb-tmpfs shrinker with memcg A's cgroup id: before A scan after A scan base A=64M, B=64M A=64M, B=64M (per-memcg count is skipped) patched A=64M, B=64M A=0, B=64M Link: https://lore.kernel.org/94cc7fe1fd645254ae90effc1c0687678438d940.1786955972.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@kernel.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Cc: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Cc: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt@linux.dev> Cc: Qinyun Tan <qinyuntan@linux.alibaba.com>
2026-10-06mm: memcontrol: make obj_cgroup_memcg() handle NULL objcgQi Zheng
Patch series "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware", v4. The shmem unused huge shrinker maintains a per-superblock list of inodes whose tail huge folio extends beyond i_size. Because this list is not memcg aware, reclaim triggered by memcg A can scan inodes across the entire superblock and split huge folios charged to unrelated memcg B, causing unexpected impact on it. In the worst case, memcg A has no reclaimable shmem at all, making the reclaim entirely useless and incurring unnecessary latency. We observed this in production, where page lock contention during split caused multi-hundred-millisecond stalls: tid 11340 comm scanner locked a page for 182264 us! kstack: unlock_page+1 split_huge_page_to_list+3135 shmem_unused_huge_shrink+767 super_cache_scan+329 do_shrink_slab+291 shrink_slab+533 shrink_node+400 do_try_to_free_pages+206 try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages+262 try_charge_memcg+591 mem_cgroup_charge+136 __handle_mm_fault+2431 handle_mm_fault+194 do_user_addr_fault+462 __do_page_fault+176 do_page_fault+48 page_fault+62 Usama's recent patch [1] prevents the shmem unused shrinker from being invoked during memcg-level reclaim altogether, but this is overly conservative: we can do better by reclaiming only the shmem charged to the reclaiming memcg. This series converts the shrinker list to a memcg-aware list_lru, so that non-root memcg reclaim walks only candidates charged to the reclaiming memcg. Global reclaim, root memcg reclaim and shmem quota reclaim retain their existing global semantics. To avoid pinning a dying memcg through a long-lived CSS reference, each inode stores an obj_cgroup reference instead of a mem_cgroup reference. The list_lru add/delete paths resolve the current memcg from the objcg under RCU, staying consistent with list_lru's own memcg migration on offline. This patch (of 3): obj_cgroup_memcg() currently requires a non-NULL objcg, so callers that may hold a NULL objcg must guard the call with an explicit NULL check. This pattern is duplicated in folio_memcg(), folio_memcg_check(), mm/page_owner.c, and mm/zswap.c. Teach obj_cgroup_memcg() to accept NULL and return NULL in that case, then remove the redundant NULL checks at the call sites. Also remove the mem_cgroup_from_entry() wrapper in zswap, which existed solely to provide this NULL-safe behaviour, and replace its two callers with direct obj_cgroup_memcg() calls. No functional change intended.

2026-10-06Revert "arch: introduce set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Commit 0c6378a71574 ("arch: introduce set_direct_map_valid_noflush()") added set_direct_map_valid_noflush() to allow updating the direct map for a physically contiguous range in execmem. As Brendan recently pointed out [1], this API is confusing because on arm64 it means that is sets VALID bit in ptes, while on other architectures it is an analog of set_direct_map_default_noflush(). The only user of set_direct_map_valid_noflush() was execmem's ROX cache freeing path and it was switched to utilize VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for resetting permissions of the direct map alias. With the last user gone and with set_direct_map_{invalid,default}_noflush() accepting number of pages as a parameter, set_direct_map_valid_noflush() become a copy of set_memory_valid() on arm64 and a duplicate of set_direct_map_{invalid,default}_noflush() on other architecture, it is safe to remove set_direct_map_valid_noflush(). Also drop a stale comment in arm64::__kernel_map_pages() that Linus bothered to add when merging changes containing set_direct_map_valid_noflush() to his tree. This reverts commit 0c6378a71574daa6cd1534ad42a956e3262756c7.

2026-10-06set_memory: add number of pages parameter to set_direct_map APIsMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Patch series "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()", v3. Recent discussion about implementation of execmem's ROX caches on arm64 revealed a confusion about how set_direct_map_valid_noflush() implemented on different architectures. On arm64 it sets or clears the PTE_VALID bit marking a PTE as present or not present. On other architectures it's a range version of set_direct_map_invalid_noflush() and set_direct_map_default_noflush() Unlike arm64::set_direct_map_valid_noflush(), set_direct_map_default_noflush() not only marks PTE as present, but also sets its default protection mode. Other than that, initial design of execmem ROX caches didn't rely on restoration of large mappings that's now available on x86, but completely removed the memory allocated for the ROX cache from the direct map to ensure that large mappings are not split. This precluded usage of VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for the ROX cache allocations and required execmem to implement manipulation of the direct map alias. Current implementation of ROX caches does not remove the direct map alias but simply calls set_memory_rox() that updates the permissions in both vmalloc address space and the direct map and relies on collapse_large_pages() in x86 CPA to keep large mappings. This allow using VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for execmem ROX cache allocations with small adjustments to set_direct_map APIs and vmalloc::reset_perms() behaviour: adding number of pages parameter to set_direct_map APIs and making resetting of the direct map permissions in vmalloc VMAP_HUGE friendly. Implement these adjustments, make execmem always use VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS and revert set_direct_map_valid_noflush() changes. This patch (of 6): When set_direct_map APIs were introduced by the commit d253ca0c3865 ("x86/mm/cpa: Add set_direct_map_*() functions") the single page parameter made sense because the initial callers (vmalloc and hibernation) had sets of unsorted struct pages that required changes of their mappings in the direct map. Since there is an increasing demand for direct map manipulation and it is also desirable to be able to update larger physically contiguous mappings, for example an entire large folio, extend set_direct_map APIs to receive number of pages parameter. As there is still only a handful of callers, change the existing functions directly and update all the call sites rather than adding wrappers for single page case.

2026-10-06mm/hugetlb: switch HugeTLB to section-based vmemmap optimizationMuchun Song
HugeTLB bootmem vmemmap optimization still carries its own early setup path, including pre-populating optimized mappings before the generic sparse-vmemmap code runs. Now that the section-based vmemmap optimization can derive HugeTLB vmemmap deduplication from section metadata, HugeTLB only needs to mark the bootmem huge page range with the appropriate order. The generic sparse-vmemmap population path can then allocate and map the shared tail vmemmap pages without any HugeTLB-specific early population code. Do that by recording the compound page order when a bootmem huge page is allocated and dropping the dedicated pre-HVO helpers and related special-casing. This removes duplicate early setup logic and switches HugeTLB to the section-based vmemmap optimization path.

2026-10-06mm/mm_init: skip initializing shared vmemmap tail pagesMuchun Song
memmap_init_range() initializes every struct page in the target range. For compound pages with vmemmap optimization, the tail struct pages are backed by a shared vmemmap page. Initializing those tail struct pages would overwrite the shared vmemmap page contents, requiring users such as HugeTLB to restore the metadata afterwards. Track the compound page order for HVO-backed sections and use that metadata to detect struct pages that fall into the shared tail vmemmap range. Skip those shared tail pages in memmap_init_range(), then initialize pageblock migratetypes for the processed range with a helper after the per-page initialization loop. Keep direct mem_section access inside sparse helpers. Expose pfn_to_section_compound_order() for callers that only need the order associated with a PFN. This lets memmap_init_range() skip shared tail vmemmap pages without exposing __pfn_to_section() to !SPARSEMEM builds. This is a preparatory change for consolidating handling across users of vmemmap optimization, and it also avoids redundant initialization of shared tail vmemmap pages during early boot. That early-boot benefit appears only once HugeTLB is switched to this common handling, since HugeTLB is the early-boot user that creates those shared tail vmemmap pages.

2026-10-06mm/sparse: relax struct mem_section size constraintsMuchun Song
Patch series "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB", v6. This series is split out from the earlier, larger series "mm: Generalize HVO for HugeTLB and device DAX" [1]. While the parent series generalizes vmemmap optimization across HugeTLB and device DAX, this subset addresses a single, self-contained step: making the generic sparse-vmemmap code section-based optimization aware and switching HugeTLB bootmem pages to this path. HugeTLB vmemmap optimization currently has its own early boot setup path. It pre-populates optimized vmemmap mappings before the normal sparse-vmemmap population code runs, and sparsemem carries SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT only to support that special case. That makes the HugeTLB vmemmap optimization path harder to share with other users of sparse-vmemmap optimization and leaves a fair amount of HugeTLB-specific boot-time state in the generic memory initialization flow. This series introduces section-based vmemmap optimization support in the sparse-vmemmap code and switches HugeTLB bootmem pages over to it. Instead of having HugeTLB pre-populate optimized vmemmap mappings itself, HugeTLB now records the compound page order in the corresponding memory sections. The generic sparse-vmemmap population path can then allocate or reuse shared tail vmemmap pages based on section metadata. The patches are organized as follows: - patches 1-2 prepare sparsemem and vmemmap optimization metadata - patches 3-8 teach the common sparse-vmemmap paths to use that state - patches 9-10 switch HugeTLB bootmem optimization to the section-based path - patches 11-17 clean up sparsemem and HugeTLB bootmem code that is no longer needed after the conversion This is intended to be the second smaller step toward the broader HVO generalization. The device DAX conversion and the wider HVO consolidation are left for follow-up series. This patch (of 17): struct mem_section is currently forced to a power-of-2 size so the section-to-root lookup can use a mask instead of a modulo. That requirement makes future extensions harder than necessary: adding a small field can require configuration-dependent padding or layout checks just to preserve the lookup scheme. Keep the lookup correct for any struct mem_section size by using a plain modulo instead. Do not leave the layout entirely unconstrained, though. Keep struct mem_section double-word aligned so modest size changes, such as adding another word-sized field on 64-bit systems, still keep a compact and efficient layout. If future fields grow the structure beyond that sweet spot, the lookup remains correct; only the exact layout efficiency changes.

2026-10-06net: always dissect GSO packets in __virtio_net_hdr_to_skb()Eric Dumazet
Commit 9e8db5913264 ("net: avoid false positives in untrusted gso validation") added a '&& skb->network_header' check before flow-dissecting GSO packets without VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM in __virtio_net_hdr_to_skb(), because some callers (such as tun_get_user(), tun_xdp_one(), virtnet_receive_done(), and raw_verify_header()) called virtio_net_hdr_*_to_skb() before initializing skb->network_header and skb->dev. Because __alloc_skb() and __build_skb_around() zero-initialize skb->network_header to 0 (unlike mac_header and transport_header which are initialized to ~0U), those four callers always had skb->network_header == 0 and bypassed flow dissection in __virtio_net_hdr_to_skb(). More generally, skb->network_header is an offset from skb->head (where 0 is also a valid offset whenever skb_headroom(skb) is 0), not a boolean flag. Whenever the 'if (gso_type && skb->network_header)' branch was skipped, the fallback 'else if (gso_type)' only pulled nh_min_len + thlen (40 bytes for TCPv4) without dissecting the packet, without validating ip_proto or n_proto, and without setting skb->transport_header. If the packet has a malformed network header, it is not rejected and a subsequent skb_probe_transport_header() also fails, leaving skb->transport_header at ~0U (0xffff). Similarly, if an IPv4 packet carries IP options (ihl > 5) or an IPv6 packet carries extension headers, pulling only nh_min_len + thlen can leave the TCP header outside skb->head. In both cases, tcp_hdrlen(skb) in skb_gso_transport_seglen() reads out-of-bounds: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in skb_gso_transport_seglen Read of size 2 by task poc/133 skb_gso_transport_seglen (net/core/gso.c:155) skb_gso_validate_mac_len (net/core/gso.c:270) tbf_enqueue (net/sched/sch_tbf.c:260) dev_qdisc_enqueue (net/core/dev.c:4227) __dev_queue_xmit (net/core/dev.c:4884) In addition, checking virtio_net_hdr_match_proto() only inside 'if (!skb->protocol)' before flow dissection both skipped validation when skb->protocol was pre-set by the caller and rejected VLAN-tagged frames whose outer L2 protocol is ETH_P_8021Q or ETH_P_8021AD. Fix this by: 1. Initializing skb->dev and skb->network_header (plus skb->protocol for IFF_TUN) before virtio_net_hdr_*_to_skb() in tun_get_user(), tun_xdp_one(), virtnet_receive_done(), and raw_verify_header(). In tun_get_user(), drop the redundant skb_reset_mac_header(skb) in the IFF_TUN case since __virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() unconditionally resets mac_header. 2. Removing '&& skb->network_header' and the unvalidated 'else if (gso_type)' fallback in __virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() so all GSO packets without VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM are flow-dissected, have their transport header pulled into linear data, and have skb->transport_header set. 3. Moving the virtio_net_hdr_match_proto() check to after skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys_basic(), validating keys.basic.n_proto against hdr_gso_type.

2026-10-06rcu: Drop the address space qualifier from the dereference macrosRicardo Ribalda
The RCU dereference macros end with a cast that is meant to hand back a plain kernel pointer from a __rcu pointer.

Recent versions of smatch[1] care about this and throw tens of warnings like this one: ./include/trace/events/vb2.h:46:1: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) ./include/trace/events/vb2.h:46:1: expected struct tracepoint_func *it_func_ptr ./include/trace/events/vb2.h:46:1: got struct tracepoint_func __rcu * Use a new macro TYPEOF_NO_ADDRESS_SPACE() for the result type. This new macro strips all the qualifiers when running with sparse (so const and volatile are gone). But keeps all the qualifiers when running with the compiler, caring about const/volatile mismatch.

2026-10-06lib: Add two-byte cmpxchg emulation functionBradley Morgan
cmpxchg_emu_u8() emulates one-byte cmpxchg() in terms of four-byte cmpxchg() for the architectures lacking native one-byte atomics. The same architectures also lack native two-byte cmpxchg(), where such an operation is not supported and either fails to compile via BUILD_BUG() or fails to link, because the bad pointer sentinels these architectures declare are never defined. Add cmpxchg_emu_u16(), the two-byte sibling. It reads the enclosing word with READ_ONCE(), splices the two target bytes through a union and loops on cmpxchg() of the full word until the compare succeeds. Like cmpxchg_emu_u8() it is fully ordered. Unlike cmpxchg_emu_u8() it casts the old and new values to u16 internally and returns unsigned long, taking the old and new values as unsigned long, per the suggestion from David Laight. The switch statements in the architecture macros instantiate every size case, so a cmpxchg() on a pointer type checks the two-byte case as well, and a u16 parameter or return would make the macro casts and return conversions warn there. With unsigned long parameters and return the call sites need no narrowing casts, pointer exchanges compile warning free, and the function still compares and returns exactly the 16 bits the caller asked for, which matches the hardware cmpxchg r16 behaviour where a 16-bit compare only looks at the low 16 bits of the register. cmpxchg_emu_u8() keeps returning the old value unmasked, so a caller that passes a wider old than 8 bits still gets it back as passed, matching the behaviour the one-byte emulator always had. The Kconfig symbol gating this file is renamed from ARCH_NEED_CMPXCHG_1_EMU to ARCH_NEED_CMPXCHG_1_2_EMU, as it now selects both the one-byte and the two-byte emulation.

2026-10-06PCI/ACPI: Centralize pcie_ports_native checkingKuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan
If the user booted with "pcie_ports=native", we take control of the PCIe port services unconditionally, regardless of what _OSC says. Centralize the testing of pcie_ports_native in acpi_pci_root_create(), where we interpret the _OSC results, so other places only have to check host_bridge->native_X and we don't have to sprinkle tests of pcie_ports_native everywhere. Rather than overriding the host_bridge->native_X flags after the fact, fold "pcie_ports=native" into the _OSC control mask we evaluate, i.e., proceed as though the platform had granted control of the port services. That way there is a single mechanism deciding each native_X flag, and we can report exactly which features we are overriding _OSC for instead of just noting that we are overriding something: acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: OS forcing control ("pcie_ports=native") of [PCIeHotplug PME AER DPC] Forcing host_bridge->native_aer also restores DPC service binding under "pcie_ports=native", which regressed in commit 97ca178c899d ("PCI/DPC: Allow DPC on all Downstream Ports when OS controls AER"). That commit replaced the AER service test in get_port_device_capability() with host->native_aer, so DPC stayed off when host_bridge->native_aer was not set. This also extends "pcie_ports=native" to host_bridge->native_dpc, which had no pcie_ports_native fallback before. That effect is narrow. native_dpc is only consumed by pci_dpc_recovered(), where with CONFIG_PCIE_EDR=n it previously gave up immediately and now lets pciehp wait for DPC recovery before treating a Link Down as a hotplug event. Fold "pcie_ports=dpc-native" into the control mask the same way, so host_bridge->native_dpc reflects it as well, with the same narrow effect on pci_dpc_recovered(). Move the pcie_ports_dpc_native declaration to <linux/pci.h> so acpi_pci_root_create() can test it. host_bridge->native_ltr is deliberately not forced. "pcie_ports=" controls PCIe port services and LTR is not one. There is no PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_LTR, and native_ltr is only used by pci_configure_ltr() to enable ASPM L1.2, so forcing it would be an ASPM policy decision users did not ask for. SHPC hotplug is left alone for a simpler reason: SHPC is a conventional PCI feature rather than a PCIe one, so "pcie_ports=" has no bearing on it.

2026-10-06seccomp: allow restarting interrupted unreceived notificationsCong Wang
An interrupted user notification wait returns ERESTARTSYS before the syscall body has run. If the notifying task's handler for the delivered signal was installed without SA_RESTART, that task sees EINTR even for calls whose callers do not expect it. This can make fork fail unexpectedly or make close report EINTR while leaving the descriptor open. A leaked pipe write end can prevent readers from seeing EOF. The supervisor cannot repair this result once the interrupted task removes the notification. If removal happens before receipt, the supervisor never receives that request; a reply using its ID would fail with ENOENT. Receiving notifications eagerly only narrows the scheduling window. WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV protects supervisor processing after receipt, but deliberately leaves the pre-receive wait interruptible. A sandbox also cannot transparently fix this in the target. It cannot require arbitrary workloads to retry calls such as fork and close. Retrying close on EINTR is unsafe when the native syscall has already released the descriptor. Forcing SA_RESTART on application handlers would change cancellation behavior for other blocking calls. Sandlock encounters this while mediating process creation to enforce process limits. For example, dash installs its SIGCHLD handler without SA_RESTART. While dash is creating a pipeline, an earlier child can exit and generate SIGCHLD while dash waits for a fork notification to be received. The interrupted wait then makes fork return EINTR, causing dash to report "Cannot fork". Removing fork from notification mediation would bypass the process-limit enforcement that sandlock needs. Add SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_RESTART_BEFORE_RECV, requiring NEW_LISTENER. Under notify_lock, convert an interrupted wait's ERESTARTSYS to ERESTARTNOINTR only while the notification remains INIT. The notifying task's signal handler still runs; if it returns normally, syscall entry and the filter are evaluated again. Keep this opt-in because commit c2aa2dfef243 ("seccomp: Add wait_killable semantic to seccomp user notifier") deliberately preserved pre-receipt interruption so workloads could abandon requests before the supervisor starts processing them. The flag can be combined with WAIT_KILLABLE_RECV to defer non-fatal signals after receipt. Neither supervisor-supplied errors nor the native syscall's restart behavior is changed.

2026-10-05net: remove IPX raw 802.3 detection from eth_type_trans()Eric Dumazet
eth_type_trans() and vlan_set_encap_proto() still carry a "magic hack" to spot Novell raw 802.3 frames (IPX directly over 802.3, without an 802.2 LLC header) by looking for 0xFFFF in the first two bytes of the payload, and report them as ETH_P_802_3. IPX was removed in commit 7a2e838d28cf ("staging: ipx: delete it from the tree") and there is no in-kernel packet handler for ETH_P_802_3 on the Ethernet receive path anymore. Simply classify all frames using a length field as ETH_P_802_2, which is what the remaining LLC users (STP, GARP, SNAP) register for. This removes a skb_header_pointer() call (and the skb->dev scratch trick used to avoid a stack canary) from eth_type_trans(), and lets skb_vlan_untag() only pull VLAN_HLEN bytes, as the extra two bytes were only needed for this check since commit 55eff0eb7460 ("net: Fix potential wrong skb->protocol in skb_vlan_untag()"). Note that such frames are now reported to AF_PACKET, tc, BPF and nftables with skb->protocol == ETH_P_802_2 instead of ETH_P_802_3. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter -t vmlinux.old vmlinux.new add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/5 up/down: 33/-187 (-154) Function old new delta skb_shift 1736 1768 +32 eth_type_trans.cold 45 46 +1 skb_vlan_untag 690 678 -12 __skb_vlan_pop 489 477 -12 nf_flow_encap_pop 462 449 -13 eth_type_trans 354 220 -134 Total: Before=31212910, After=31212756, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20261002185509.17226-1-edumazet@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2026-10-05tcp: add tp->tcp_nospaceEric Dumazet
tcp_check_space() runs for every incoming ACK and for every packet we send, and reads SOCK_NOSPACE from sk->sk_socket->flags. struct socket lives in its own cache line, which the TCP fast paths do not otherwise touch, so testing sk->sk_socket->flags pulls in an extra cache line that is cold when the working set is large. Add tp->tcp_nospace, a mirror of SOCK_NOSPACE placed right after tp->chrono_type in the tcp_sock_write_tx group, in a cache line both the transmit and the ACK paths already touch (bytes_sent, data_segs_out, delivered, bytes_acked, chrono_type). It fits in an existing 3-byte hole before chrono_start, so no other field moves and sizeof(struct tcp_sock) is unchanged. The two flags are now only changed from sk_set_nospace() and sk_clear_nospace(), which maintain this invariant: SOCK_NOSPACE set => tp->tcp_nospace set sk_set_nospace() sets SOCK_NOSPACE before tp->tcp_nospace (using smp_mb__after_atomic() and smp_store_mb()), while sk_clear_nospace() clears tp->tcp_nospace before SOCK_NOSPACE (using smp_mb__before_atomic()). If a lockless sk_set_nospace() from tcp_poll() races with sk_clear_nospace() and SOCK_NOSPACE ends up set, set_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE) happened after clear_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE), so tp->tcp_nospace = 1 happens after tp->tcp_nospace = 0 as well. tcp_check_space() can thus test tp->tcp_nospace alone and leave the authoritative SOCK_NOSPACE test to __tcp_check_space(). The invariant is one directional on purpose: a stale tp->tcp_nospace only costs an extra call to __tcp_check_space(), which is what we do unconditionally today, while a stale SOCK_NOSPACE would cost a missed EPOLLOUT. Note the smp_mb() is kept. tcp_poll() sets the flag without the socket lock, and the store-buffer pattern it forms with tcp_check_space() needs a full barrier on both sides. MPTCP subflows share the struct socket of their parent, hence its SOCK_NOSPACE bit, which can not be mirrored in the subflow tcp_sock. Pin their tp->tcp_nospace in subflow_ulp_init(), so that they always reach __tcp_check_space() and keep the current behavior. Microbenchmark on an AMD EPYC 7B13, 64 threads, each thread calling tcp_check_space() in a loop over a private set of sockets. Numbers are cycles per call above a baseline loop that performs the work the callers already did (the cache lines tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_clean_rtx_queue() touched) but not tcp_check_space() itself, so they are the marginal cost of the function.

2026-10-05dmaengine: dw-edma: Configure remote interrupt routingKoichiro Den
An endpoint function can reserve an endpoint-local channel while the RC programs it through an exposed register window. Such a channel must route interrupts remotely and ignore them on the endpoint. Use dma_slave_config to set per-channel interrupt routing on idle channels of a local eDMA or HDMA instance. Releasing a remote-routed channel quiesces the hardware and drains its local IRQ before restoring default routing. The eDMA quiesce may stop a complete direction. The caller must own every channel in that direction and stop remote programming first.

2026-10-05dmaengine: Allow drivers to assign static channel IDsKoichiro Den
The dmaengine core assigns channel IDs in registration order. If a driver skips a hardware channel, chan_id can differ from the hardware numbering and a client cannot reliably correlate a requested channel with hardware resources. Let a driver request an exact channel ID before device registration. Reserve static IDs through the existing IDA so they remain unique, while retaining automatic IDA allocation as the default. For example, idma32 uses chan_id to select DMA_CTL_CH() and DMA_XBAR_SEL(), so it relies on ascending registration order to match chan_id with the hardware channel number. Use direction-flattened IDs for dw-edma channels. Unlike the direction-local hardware channel number, these IDs are unique within the DMA device.

2026-10-05NFSv4/pnfs: Recover revoked layouts on a deleted deviceIDBenjamin Coddington
RFC 8881 Section 20.12 lets a server send CB_NOTIFY_DEVICEID DELETE for a deviceID once it has revoked every layout referring to it. Revocation is not announced, so the client can still be holding what it believes are live layouts on that deviceID. Section 18.40.4 resolves that: TEST_STATEID each referring layout and recover the ones that come back revoked -- mark the layout stateid invalid, free the lsegs, FREE_STATEID to acknowledge. The callback thread cannot issue fore-channel RPCs, so suspects are queued on the nfs_client (dedup'd, holding a layoutdriver reference) and resolved by a new state-manager step keyed on NFS4CLNT_DEVICEID_DELETE. The worker re-collects the referring layouts, so layouts returned or recalled in the meantime are skipped. Drop the cached device once the collected layouts account for the delete: every one of them was revoked here. Section 18.48.3 defines TEST_STATEID's answers, and NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID says the layout exists and was not revoked -- only that it moved on after this stateid was snapshotted -- so it counts against the delete as NFS4_OK does. Any other answer leaves the revocation unresolved and keeps the device cached, as does a layout the server still considers valid (verifying that one with GETDEVICEINFO comes next). A layout counts as revoked only if it was invalidated here; a stateid that no longer matches its layout is a stale snapshot. Invalidating one is paired with nfs_commit_inode(), since pnfs_clear_lseg_state() drops only the VALID and LAYOUTCOMMIT references, and an lseg still held by a commit bucket would keep the layout -- and the device nodes this recovery is trying to release -- alive. If the walk collects no referring layouts, the device is unreferenced and the delete is carried out directly. If the collection could not be completed, recovery leaves the device cached for the next notification. Nothing enqueues suspects yet, so no behavior change.

2026-10-05pNFS: Discard a GETDEVICEINFO reply that raced a CHANGE notificationBenjamin Coddington
RFC 8881 Section 18.40.4: a GETDEVICEINFO reply in flight while the server changes the device mapping may carry the pre-change mapping; if it is inserted into the cache after the CHANGE notification unhashed the stale entry, the client re-caches stale data. Track a change epoch, bumped when a CHANGE notification is processed before the stale entry is unhashed. nfs4_find_get_deviceid() snapshots the epoch before issuing GETDEVICEINFO and, serialized against the unhash by nfs4_deviceid_lock at insert time, discards the reply and refetches if the epoch moved. A stale insert that instead precedes the unhash is removed by the unhash itself, so the cache does not retain the pre-change entry either way; a reference already handed to a caller in that ordering is dropped by the re-resolve walk instead. The refetch is bounded. The epoch is bumped once per CHANGE entry -- that is, at a rate the server chooses -- so an unbounded retry would let a server drive GETDEVICEINFO traffic without limit, and each discarded node can carry a DS client teardown and reconnect with it. After NFS4_DEVICEID_FETCH_RETRIES attempts the reply is accepted. That is safe because discarding is an optimisation rather than a correctness requirement: it avoids caching a mapping already known to be superseded, but before this patch the client cached whatever the reply carried, so the bounded case is no worse than the previous behaviour and a mapping that really is stale is corrected by the notification that follows. The epoch lives on the nfs_client, so a CHANGE delivered on one server's callback channel does not force an unrelated server's in-flight lookup to discard its reply and refetch. Mounts that share an nfs_client do share the counter; the deviceid cache is keyed per client ID, so that is the granularity the race is defined at.

2026-10-05NFSv4/flexfiles: Carry the device node reference across each I/OBenjamin Coddington
Rather than dropping the device node reference when DS setup completes, transfer it to the in-flight I/O: carry it on nfs_pgio_header and nfs_commit_data as ds_dev, and release it when the header or commit data is released, alongside the lseg reference. Convert the completion paths to use the carried node instead of re-reading the mirror's pinned pointer: DS error tracking, marking the deviceid available/unavailable, and deleting the deviceid on connection errors now act on the node the I/O was actually sent to. Once a CHANGE notification can re-point the pinned pointer mid-flight, this keeps error attribution on the old device rather than its replacement (and removes a NULL dereference had the pointer been reset to NULL). FF_LAYOUT_DEVID_NODE() is now unused; remove it.

2026-10-05NFSv4.1/pnfs: remember when a server needs a larger LAYOUTGET reply bufferBenjamin Coddington
When a LAYOUTGET only succeeds after escalating the reply buffer, every layout fetched from that server is likely to need the larger buffer: remember the escalated size on the nfs_server and use it as the floor for subsequent LAYOUTGET reply buffers, skipping the doomed attempt at the layout driver's default size. This also lets the LAYOUTGET attached to OPEN benefit: the lgopen path is best-effort with no retry of its own, so without the learned size it would fail with NFS4ERR_TOOSMALL at every open against a server handing out wide layouts, and layouts would only ever be acquired by the I/O path's retry. The field is a hint: reads and writes are racy by design, the value only ever grows toward the session's maximum response size, and a stale-low read merely costs one escalation round trip.

Pin-Aware Cleanup: As we migrate to iov_iter_extract_* API, requests will hold pins (GUP) instead of standard references. The helper ensures that the correct unpinning logic gets applied consistently across all requests in a list. 2. Folio Support: In subsequent patches where nfs_page structures will cover multi-page folios, this helper provides a clean infrastructure to unlock these larger units of I/O in bulk during completion, similar to the pattern in bio_release_pages.
